Today, we are introducing full size sets, Embrace Beauty and Bugabee... along with some AWESOME coordinating die sets and a versatile embossing plate.    

The set I used for today is Bugabee... an adorable set concepted by Charmaine Ikach (from our own Baker's Dozen) and illustrated by Taylor for the TE collection.  It's a full size set with 27 images/sentiments.  You can create all sorts of fun and adorable combinations with these cute stamps.  What's even better is that there are also coordinating dies including the Bugabee Bugs Dies, Bugabee Flower Dies, and a 6" Grass border die!  Everything you need to create an adorable garden inspired card!  I used all of these on the card I made today featuring papers from Jillebean Soup Blossom collection.  I stamped the flowers and then stamped and die cut the smaller flower layers for inside.  The ladybug was stamped and die cut into two pieces... and the grass is actually the reverse piece from another card I made using the grass as well.. No waste! :)  

I didn't use it on this card, but we are also introducing the Lots of Dots Impression Plate today which is going to be a plate you can use on almost every card!  Two sizes of dots (one design on each side) and with the Embossing Pad Kit you get a nice deep impression on your card stock.  (By the way, do you know that blogger spellcheck changes that to yardstick if you put it as all one word... very annoying... I think we need to request a Stamper/Scrapbooker spellcheck version! :)  

Before I go, here is a link to the amazing talent of the Baker's Dozen so you can see more samples!!
